Hello and welcome! They said it couldn’t
happen but here we are one month on from
our previous issue. Long may that continue...
although our next issue will appear slightly
later than expected due to Computex.
We’ve something of a special issue this
month. We’ve a feature on why live overclocking g
is the new Poker and a great guest column from m
EVGA on how an all-star cast of overclockers
designed the amazing Classifi ed motherboard.
We’ve also got the word on what happened at all the big GOOC regional
championships, particularly Europe and Asia. We’d love to show you all
the pics from Thailand, but we’ll get arrested. Or at least we should do.
We’ve also got some new sections: From the forums looks at an
overclocking community forum and fi nds out who’s there, what they
talk about... n’stuff. We start with team OCX but if you want your forum
featured let us know.
We’ve also got Benching with the Stars where a record-breaking
overclocker tells you how they did it. First up is the mighty pro and
3DMark 01.
Finally, we’ve got a new style of review: instead of journos we’re
asking overclockers to get involved we strip out the writing bits
and focus on what’s really important.
Tell us what you think!
